I just have to repeat, if you are dining in a not-bad restaurant the food is seriously tonnes better than what you can find in Malaysia. =D. (except CWZJ because basically they travel to China a lot to erm, learn. see cousin I’m promoting you!) and it is very very VERY CLEAN. all the plates, chopsticks, spoons are usually sterile! (maybe it is only in Xia Men and places around it). so well, today’s mission is to get you to drool. especially if you’re reading this with an empty stomach. =D.

rooms are normal in China. besides, almost everybody have their own room (not places that are super crowded lah of course!). so no peeking at what other people is eating boo hoo. =(. but usually they have wonderful rooms =D. this one is a little pricey and the view is spectacular but too bad when I am there it’s night time (it’s facing the sea) so I shot nothing.

and in such a unique restaurant how do you order?

well, this is a seafood restaurant. and they have a quite huge menu(points at that bright board, there.). and other than that, usually you just have to point at whatever you want from the tank. whichever that attracts you heee.

scallops there are really HUGE and JUICY. not too pricy too! forgotten the price but it’s much cheaper than Malaysia lah despite that it is in such a nice restaurant.

or you can have the very luxurious ABALONE. I shall dream on about eating such huge ones.

and if you think that you are “special” you don’t want to eat “normal” seafood, you can always have “special special” ones. and the one that I find most “SPECIAL” would be this.

what are they? no they are not sea asparagus nor is it some meat rolled like that. it is.. sea worms. when it moved I had goosebumps. =/. and mind you it is not cheap, at all!

so here and now I present you the 13(or more I don’t remember, at least 13) course meal that stuffed me mad. (not posting every dish though @@, like prawns etc.)

starters! China has the best starter ever. jelly fish heads are one of the most exclusive starter and it usually costs a bomb. as in a bomb for just a starter. but it is worth every penny believe me =D. it is not on the picture. I am just telling you because once I had it and I didn’t bring my camera. =/.

anyway this one is octopus and, some other version of sea worms served with some cold jelly. not the dessert kind of jelly. (ugh =/. before knowing it was worms I thought that it was quite yummyand after knowing it I didn’t even want to take another one. T_T) but the octopus was the biggest treat! it is so damn nice especially when it goes with the sauce (chilli, peanut, wasabi). never had such fresh octopus before, right from the tank! whoo!

I don’t know what is this called.

BABY ABALONES! sold for RM10 each in KL, but a lot cheaper in China, as my mom had mentioned. garlic for the win! =P. and in certain Japanese Buffet restaurants, this is included too! but limited maybe 2 each. the food in those Jap buffets are equally as nice nicer than those in Jogoya! just a not-so high class but still nice place, don’t you think it’s worth it? oh right, it is actually around rm50 only. hehe.

NEXT! muslims don’t see this if not you will be considered sinned!

fuah the very crunchy pork Mmm yumm. there’s some dipping sauce for it too, forgotten to take a picture of it opps. in every place the dipping sauce for pork are usually different in it’s own unique way so it is okay if I forgotten about it. hahaha. something every person (except muslims!) should really try hehe.

TADA! the oversized scallop! bigger than my palm =O.

one of the hugest LALA’s ever. I remember only eating huge (half of that, but huger than most malaysian lala’s) lala’s once in Malaysia. and it is around 3 times more expensive than the same but nicer ones in China. =D. so remember to whack a lot of it when you are there. xD. well, it is like you can’t get Nasi Lemak for only 5 bucks in a Malaysian restaurant in China. (even roti canai “telur” *or any cheao material* costs RMB20 there!)

the outside of the restaurant! ain’t it pretty? xD.

it just reminds me of Cameron Highlands I don’t know why.

more of China to come!
